Our speaker via Zoom, Ruth Lindemann lived through “Kristalnacht”, She has graciously agreed to speak to us about the events leading up to “Kristalnacht”, the event itself and what happened afterwards.  This is a “must hear” event, so please tell your friends about it.  If you want to hear her story ahead of time, her memoir is
called “We Chose Survival”. What was Kristalnacht? In the early hours of November 10, 1938, Nazi storm troopers and Hitler Youth rampaged through Jewish neighborhoods across Germany, leaving behind them a horrifying trail of terror and destruction. More than a thousand synagogues and many thousands of Jewish shops were destroyed, while thirty thousand Jews were rounded up and sent to concentration camps. Kristallnacht—the Night of Broken Glass—was a decisive stage in the systematic eradication of a people who traced their origins in Germany to Roman times and was a sinister forewarning of the Holocaust.
